Stuart Broad cleared of being against the spirit of the game by the ICC Panel

Why was Ramdin banned ? If that was against spirit of the game, so was this and this too deserves a ban. Also, it was not a small nick. It was a very big edge.
Ramdin was banned because he was trying to fool the umpire. Broad has not been banned because he was waiting for the umpire to make a foolish decision. As much as I dislike Broad, he shouldn't face any infraction as he wasn't in any way responsible for influencing the umpire's decision as how Ramdin was. It's like saying that the bystander who watches a murder being committed is as much responsible for the murder as the murderer himself.

To people who are still in doubt :giggle:

Toss England, who chose to bat Series England led the 5-match series 1-0 Test debut AC Agar (Australia) Player of the match JM Anderson (England) Umpires Aleem Dar (Pakistan) and HDPK Dharmasena (Sri Lanka) TV umpire M Erasmus (South Africa) Match referee RS Madugalle (Sri Lanka) Reserve umpire NA Mallender

To make things even more clear , umpires need to complain before case goes to Referee.[That's what happened in case of Ramdin]

The charge - under article 2.2.11 of the ICC Code of Conduct which relates to "conduct that is contrary to the spirit of the game" - was laid by the on-field umpires Steve Davis and Llong, third umpire Tony Hill and fourth umpire Richard Kettleborough. Ramdin had pleaded not guilty and attended a hearing adjudicated by Broad on Monday.

Feck, bulbul has caught all of us :hail: The article in the OP actually means that Chris Broad feels that Stuart didn't do anything against the spirit of the game. It has got nothing to do with any official ICC panel etc. Indiaregulator :bumsmack:

Horrible analogy.......it's more like Broad committing day-light robbery and Dar being the incompetent security forces refusing to punish him even though everyone knows that Broad did the crime.....a crime going unpunished doesn't make it legal......Dar's poor decision doesn't mean that Broad didn't nick it......he just got away with it......

You sound reasonable still this is tricky. By standing there wasn't he trying to confuse umpire? Also just like thin edges, sometimes bump catch can also feel lclean catchto fielder himself, so they are justified in claiming a catch. It's umpire's responsibility to see whether that was clean or not. Overall there is lack of consistency somewhere.

a batsman knows whether he hit it if its a thin edge or thick edge' date='so he should only walk if its thick edge-what degree of deviation constitutes a thick edge?[/quote'] Exactly.

What is more likely? A batsman not realizing that he has nicked the ball or a fielder/WK not realizing that catch had bumped before he caught it? For me it is second. There would be very cases where batsman would not know whether he has nicked it or not. But there could be many genuine cases where WK would not realize that ball had bumped.

i dont agree,every batsman knows if he has hit it with his bat.

i dont agree' date='every batsman knows if he has hit it with his bat.[/quote'] That's what I said. There is great likelihood of fielder /WK not realizing that it was bump than batsman not realizing that it was nick. So who's fault is more, Ramadin or Broad?

Overall there is lack of consistency somewhere.[/quote'] It is the fielding side that appeals and puts the pressure on the umpire, the batsman doesn't. The onus is on the fielding side to not to go for a deliberately false appeal. I would say it is a bigger crime to falsely accuse a person for committing robbery than the robbery itself.

Regardless of the result. I do hope the English media pick up of this "conflict of interest" of a father judging a son. For me the biggest issue was Broad wasting time just before lunch so as to avoid another over being bowled. That was blatant cheating.

I agree too that sometimes its fielder has no way of knowing ifs it bump catch.

Wait till we hear how Broad Sr. didn't participate in the deliberations on his son's actions.
Well that would be a bit strange and difficult now that has come out to the Guardian and practically said that he has.
